The Juggernaut, Bitch!

This video continues to crack me up! This is a must-see for anyone raised on comic books or Saturday morning cartoons. Actually, if Saturday morning cartoons were this good I'd go back to getting up at 6:00 a.m. and watching a morning of cartoons from inside a fort made from sofa cushions.*

The video starts to drag about four and-a-half minutes in, so you may wish to stop it there and read about the ending on Wikipedia.

Strangest Disaster of the 20th Centruy

Things like this story is what this blog was originally about.

I used to do a remaindered link section on my other blog on Sundays, where I'd round up the interesting links I wanted to share with people. I do a lot of surfing: more than any of my friends, and, some of them tell me, more than anyone they know. Because of this, I end up with a lot of interesting sites that I want to share with people. And because I don't do e-mail forwards, it all led to this.

Anyway.

This is a great story about a natural disaster that resulted in the death of nearly 1,800 humans and thousands of animals. I'm not going to say what it is here, because the story is very well-written; but it's not earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, viruses, or exploding tanks of molasses (which was my original guess on what the disaster was). It's even stranger than when Lake Peigneur got sucked into that salt mine (and if you're not going to read about it, at least watch the video)!

LOLPresidents!!1one

In what is comically one of the BEST! THREADS! EVAR!, Fark has turned the LOLCats meme toward US Presidents.

It probably helps the humour if you're already familiar with (and enjoy) LOLCats, but there are still some great pictures there even if you're not a fan.

Desktop Tower Defense

Another terrifically addictive game that overwhelmed me so much I was playing it at all hours -- evenings, lunchtime, even my coffee breaks.

Your goal is to arrange your defenses to prevent the Creeps from crossing the screen. You start with a limited amount of money, but you get more with each Creep you kill. You get to register your name if you survive 50 levels. If you survive 50 levels.

Juggler

A simple, fun, and addictive flash game that requires you to keep the juggling balls in the air. Kinda reminds me of breakout, with balls and paddles but without the bricks.

Not as much fun as juggling in real life, but easier to do at your desk.
